GIFT CARDS

Presenting Gifts to Employees is an integral and unique culture in India. Traditionally, gifts have been given to employees in the form of cash or kind. With the advancement of Banking, Gift Cheques were introduced, allowing the employees to use the money according to their wishes. These cheques, however, are accepted at the issuing bank branches only. The SBI Gift Card, issued in association with VISA International, is one such product which gives the comfort of convenience and wide acceptability.

Gift Card is a Pre-paid Plastic Card supported by Magnetic-strip based technology. It is usable at all VISA enabled Merchant Establishments and POS by signature/ PIN. It is a perfect substitute for Gift Vouchers sold by many retail houses as its use is not restricted to any particular Merchant Establishment/ Point of Sale.
